Heat is one of the worst enemies of your smartphone. In full summer, it is key to take extra precautions if you want to protect the battery and extend its useful life. One of the most delicate moments is precisely that of loading: a bad habit here can take its toll. And, now, Apple has warned, through its website, about some behaviors that we should immediately eliminate in our daily charge routine.
The iPhone has become the perfect partner for many tasks: from counting the steps we take every day thanks to the health app to reserve our vacations or consult our social networks. Having good habits of use, especially as regards the loading of the device, is essential to extend its useful life. Moreover, when we are immersed in the middle of summer and our smartphone suffers more from the account. From the Battery University organization, consulted during today, they warn in This publication How modern batteries suffer stress when exposed to heat for prolonged periods.
Apple is aware of it and on its website, which we have also consulted today, July 2, offers different security recommendations to take care of our iPhone. One of the points at which it focuses is in the load process and, specifically, in one of the habits that many of us have: the night load when we are in bed.
Do not support your iPhone on bed during the night
If you are one of those who stay until last night watching Netflix, or any other streaming platform, on your iPhone, we have bad news for you: Apple warns that it is not recommended that we leave our smartphone under a blanket, pillow or even our body when it is connected to a power supply.
Although it is an involuntary gesture that, in many cases, we even do it unconsciously when we fall asleep, it can be enough for our smartphone to be affected and reach temperatures during the load that can be detrimental to both the device and for ourselves.
The firm of Cupertino invites “using common sense” in the statement to which we have made reference and ensure that we do not sleep or support our body on the connector or load cable while it is connected to our iPhone. Apple warns that continued contact with hot surfaces for long periods of time can cause discomfort or even injuries.
How to cool it if the temperature rises more than the account
It is possible that during this summer you will find more than a time when your iPhone gets too hot. This can happen more frequently if you use navigation apps when you travel or make use of some application that consumes more resources from the average, as is the case of the camera, for example.
In these types of situations, you are likely to notice how your iPhone slows suddenly and loses fluidity. In these cases, we recommend that you cool your smartphone so that it can recover the normal temperature. Some of the best options to lower the temperature of your iPhone are the following:
- Turn off the device or, failing that, activate the airplane mode. In this way, it will consume the minimum possible resources and your iPhone can cool more quickly.
- If you use it, retir it. The same goes for Magsafe accessories, take them out of your device when you notice very hot.
- Support the device on a fresh surface and avoid direct contact with the sun. A marble or glass table will be more than enough to help recover its normal temperature.
- In the event that you are loading it, disconnect the cable immediately.
With these tips, you will prevent the classic message from “the iPhone to cool to be able to use it” and you can continue using your terminal with absolute normality.
